I definitely think that Bridgestone should go for the “Hello Kitty” markings on the sidewalls a la Champ Car with its RED “soft” sidewall markings…<br><br>And not to date myself, but growing up the slot cars I played with were of the “original” Tyco brand with “skinny” 1/16th(?) black tyres… So I can’t say that the F1 cars remind me of this. <br><br>Yet I really appreciate the white stripe markings as they’re clearly visible…Tomasohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280712859740499443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188889944584047508.post-43195040392411639892007-04-13T16:54:38.493-07:002007-04-13T16:54:38.493-07:00Upon further reflection and consulting my dusty me...Upon further reflection and consulting my dusty memory, I had different thoughts when the idea of color coded tyres was <a href="http://cranialcavity.net/fullthrottle/wp/index.php/wednesdays-melange-of-musings" rel="nofollow">first broached</a>.<br><br><i>Why not go retro? Lets go to a wide whitewall like ‘57 Desoto’s had? Bridgestone being a Japanese firm, why not imprint a ring of Hello Kittys around the sidewall. <br><br>Gumby images might be appropriate given the tires would have to be made of a very soft and pliable compound to gain any speed advantage?</i>marcfullthrottle.cranialcavity.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188889944584047508.post-4427889536726258702007-04-13T16:45:45.431-07:002007-04-13T16:45:45.431-07:00Is it just me or do the white striped Bridgestones...Is it just me or do the white striped Bridgestones remind you of some examples of Hot Wheels or slot cars of a couple decades ago?marcfullthrottle.cranialcavity.net/noreply@blogger.com
